Choosing the Right San Francisco Acupuncturist

Acupuncture has been around for millenia and has a proven record when it comes to helping patients regain their health. At Anchor Acupuncture & Wellness, our staff wants to make sure you understand how acupuncture works and what you need to know before you schedule an appointment.
We list some things you need be aware of to make sure you choose the right San Francisco acupuncturist for your needs.

  • Look for Testimonials

The best place to learn about acupuncture in San Francisco is to talk to the people who visit them on a regular basis. Look for testimonials and ask for a reference or two. Word-of-mouth is often the best testimonial an acupuncturist can get. People who visit them are often more than willing to sing the praises of the practitioners who help them to heal.

  • Find Out What Their Specialty Is

Many acupuncturists have an area of expertise where they can feel they can do the most good. Some may focus on women’s health and fertility, while others may offer help with weight loss, migraines, kicking a smoking habit, or chronic pain. Others may offer a combination or have several acupuncturists on hand that can take care of a wide selection of conditions.

  • Schedule a Consultation

Before choosing to use any healthcare provider, schedule a phone consultation to discuss what type of treatment options are available. During the consultation, you will know within a few minutes if you like the acupuncturist and are comfortable with the staff. If you can start to build a rapport with them during that first meeting, schedule your next appointment with confidence.

  • Ask Questions

Ask questions and find out how the acupuncturist responds. Do they explain things thoroughly? Do they offer suggestions? Your goal is to find an acupuncturist that gives you the right answers to your questions. Even though they may not be the answers you want, their honesty and professionalism will be helpful in the long run.
